The CEO’s Substitute Wife Is A Genius

Chapter 20: Chapter 20 Lu Shao Transforms into a Wife-Protecting Demon Chapter 20: Chapter 20 Lu Shao Transforms into a Wife-Protecting Demon Jiang Man raised her head to meet an exquisite, melon-seed face.

The girl seemed her age, sporting long leather pants and a short vest, with tattooed arms and a head full of dirty braids, and she reeked of smoke.

The girl looked even more like a troublemaker than Jiang Man.

“I want that car, don’t you dare fight me for it!” the girl said rudely.

Jiang Man’s brows twisted as a wicked look crept into her eyes.

Word for word, she retorted rudely, “On what grounds?”

“Because my dad is Li Da!”

“Li Da? Who?” Jiang Man raised an eyebrow, full of disdain.

The girl was furious, “Fine! You’re playing tough, huh?”

Jiang Man thought the girl had some real clout, but it turned out she was just talking big and stomped away in a huff.

Jiang Man didn’t take it seriously and continued playing her game.

The paperwork took half an hour, and Zhao Huai paid in full, buying the car.

“Madam, do you have a driver’s license?”

Jiang Man was taken aback.

She had an international driving permit, but the personal information on it read Man Lisite.

After hesitating for a moment, she shook her head, “No.”

“Then let’s have a driver take you home first, and you can drive once you have a license.”

“OK,” Jiang Man gestured.

It wasn’t long before Zhao Huai called a bodyguard to drive the big G away.

Jiang Man sat in the passenger seat, and as she left, she passed by a Maybach.

“Mr. Lu, I’m heading home first.”

“Okay,” Lu Xingzhou looked at some documents in the car for a while then told the driver to follow the big G.

The two cars, one in front of the other, maintained a certain distance.

Just as the big G was leaving the 4S shop parking lot, ready to hit the road, suddenly, an off-road vehicle cut in front of it.

Bang—
With a hard collision, the bodyguard slammed on the emergency brakes in fright.

The off-road vehicle rolled down its window, whistled at the big G, and provocatively challenged them.

The Maybach behind also came to a screeching halt upon seeing this.

“BOSS, there’s been a little situation up front,” Zhao Huai quickly reported.

Lu Xingzhou looked up just in time to see the passenger-side door of the big G flung open, and Jiang Man jumping out.

She grabbed a large rock from the roadside and hurled it towards the off-road vehicle.

“So, you’re blatantly challenging me, huh?” Jiang Man’s eyes flashed with irritability, a mix of fierce and wild.

Unsatisfied with just one throw, she picked up an even bigger rock and—bang—smashed a large dent into the vehicle’s hood.

The girl inside the car was terrified, having never met anyone bolder than herself.

“Are you f***ing crazy? This car is worth over three million, can you afford that?” the girl screamed out the window, frantic.

Jiang Man crossed her arms, a smirk playing on her lips. “Of course, compensation is due, but, it’s not me who’ll pay you, you’ll pay me.”

“What a joke! Are you dreaming? Do you even know who you’ve messed with? Fine! You just wait!” the girl gnashed her teeth and pulled out her phone, “Dad, send someone quick, I’ve been violently attacked and my car smashed!”

Playing the victim already?

Doesn’t everybody have a powerful father?

It’s just that, Jiang Man didn’t want her adoptive father to know she had returned to the country, moreover that she was searching for her birth parents.

Otherwise, if she made a move with her adoptive father’s support, this girl and her dad would be in deep trouble!

If she couldn’t call on her adoptive father, then the only option was to call the police.

Just as Jiang Man was about to dial, Zhao Huai came down from the Maybach to inquire what had happened.

Jiang Man kept it brief, explaining what went down at the 4S shop to Zhao Huai.

Hearing this, Zhao Huai immediately turned to the owner of the off-road car, “Miss, this is intentional retaliation!”

“So what?” The girl had a bit of a lawless air about her, extremely arrogant, “My dad is Li Da, you dare to mess with me?”

Upon hearing Li Da, Zhao Huai laughed.

He had thought she must be someone extraordinary to be so brazen.

He didn’t bother with the girl anymore, but instead soothed Jiang Man, “Madame, the BOSS will handle this, please get in the car, it’s hot outside.”

Jiang Man, soaked in sweat, thought for a moment and then climbed into the car.

Seeing this, the girl slammed on the gas, attempting to commit a hit-and-run.

But her car only made it a few hundred meters before it meekly returned.

The girl was holding a mobile phone, taking a call.

“Ting Ting, do you even know who you’ve provoked? Hurry up and apologize to that woman, no matter what it takes, you have to make her forgive you, do you hear me?”

Li Ting couldn’t believe it, her eyebrows knotted tightly, “Dad, you’re making me apologize to her? Are you kidding? Judging by her clothes and appearance, she’s definitely not someone we can afford to offend!”

“Take a good look behind that woman, is there another car following?”

“Let me see…” The girl hopped out of the SUV.

When she saw a low-key Maybach parked there, overtaking the big G, she was startled for a moment.

Especially that conspicuous license plate almost made her bite her tongue, “That car… is… seems to be Lu Xingzhou’s, right?”

“It’s his. Lu Xingzhou just called me, saying you’ve provoked someone you shouldn’t have.”

The girl’s heartbeat missed a beat, recalling an unpleasant past episode.

Two years ago, her father played some dirty tricks and competed with the Lu’s for business.

When Lu Xingzhou found out, he personally visited and crippled her father’s leg.

Her father sought out figures from both the underworld and the law to get back at Lu Xingzhou, only to find that in the end, both sides stood by him, forcing the Li family to swallow the insult.

Ever since then, the name ‘Lu Xingzhou’ had hung over the Li family like a death warrant, instilling fear at mere mention.

The girl started shivering and didn’t even dare to take another look at the Maybach.

She ended the call immediately and approached the big G.

She fell to her knees with a thud, repeatedly kowtowing.

“I was blind not to recognize Mount Tai, I beg you to not hold a grudge for my ignorance!”

“I was blind not to recognize Mount Tai, I beg you to not hold a grudge for my ignorance!”

The girl repeated twice.

Seeing Jiang Man unmoved, she suddenly got up, picked up a large rock from the ground, “I’ll smash my car myself! I’ll smash it myself!”

Jiang Man was stunned for a moment, wondering if this woman had gone mad? In just two minutes, she had seemingly transformed into someone else.

“Miss, I’ll pay for your car’s repair, I’ll smash my own car to bits, does that satisfy you? If you’re not satisfied, I’ll keep smashing!”

The girl moved to the passenger side of the big G and knocked on the window.

Jiang Man took out her phone, texting Lu Xingzhou, her expression calm and unfazed.

[What’s going on?]
Lu Xingzhou quickly replied: [Are you satisfied? If not, I can let her continue.]
[It’ll do.] Jiang Man’s expression was indifferent, as she glanced at the person outside the window.

The girl was drenched in sweat, trying hard to please.

And her car had been battered and dented by her own actions.

“Drive,” Jiang Man said, her voice flat as she averted her gaze.

As the car started, she sent a message to Lu Xingzhou: [Thanks.]
She hadn’t expected Lu Xingzhou to actually come through for her.

First, she had her father’s protection, and now her husband’s?

Jiang Man tugged at the corner of her mouth, feeling a slight sense of affection for her flash-marriage husband.

Lost in thought, her phone in her pocket rang at that moment.

The number was a string of Martian text.

She gave it a glance, a flicker of brightness in her eyes…
